At what point do I say, "Ok I've got it beat." ?
I started when I was 15 and I'm 41 now. Don't think there has been more than 3 or 4 consecutive days without a dip. And that was not because I was trying to quit. Seriously, after reading ya'lls posts and deciding 4 1/2 days ago that I was done, it has not been too bad. That don't mean I don't miss it, CAUSE I DO. But I just stay busy. Heck Sunday, I washed the front of my house with a 6 inch brush!!! It needed it and had energy to burn. Back to the point.
After 4 1/2 days, I still have the same $10 bill in my pocket and psychologically I think I've beat this thing. The other day I watched a friend fill his lip and it did not phase me. Is it possible?

note....I have not fished or gone to the woods yet.

I've been thinking the same thing, BUT don't want to take anything for granted. The guys I was riding to work with smoked like fiends. My wife is still smoking too. Neither seem to bother me. I notice my sense of smell returning. That "stale" smoke smell bothers me but doesn't make me crave. I just dont know? I'm comitted in a big way! When I get those little nervous urges, I just find something to do, tease myself a little or say a quick prayer. It just hasn't been nearly as crazy as I thought it would be. Here's hoping it stays that way! Congrats on hangin in there Bro, GuyAt what point do I say, "Ok I've got it beat." ?
